Cleaning the Printer

To keep your printer operating at its best, you should clean it thoroughly
several times a year. To clean your printer, follow these steps:
1.
Remove any paper loaded in the printer. Make sure the printer is turned
off.
2.
Remove the paper guide base. If a pull tractor or an optional cut-sheet
feeder is installed, remove it.
3.
Use a soft brush to carefully brush away all dust and dirt from the
outer case and paper guide base.
4.
If the outer case or paper guide base is still dirty or dusty, clean them
with a soft, clean cloth dampened with mild detergent dissolved in
water. Keep the printer cover in place and lower it until it lies flat on the
top of the printer to prevent water from getting inside the printer.
Caution:
c
Never use alcohols or thinners to clean the printer; these chemicals can
damage the printer components as well as the case.
Be careful not to get water on the printer mechanism or electronic
components.
Do not use a hard or abrasive brush.
Do not spray the inside of the printer with lubricants; unsuitable
lubricants can damage the printer mechanism. Contact an EPSON
dealer if you think lubrication is needed.
